Issue Position: Lower Taxes and Sound Tax Policy

Issue Position

Issues: Business and Consumers Taxes

The number one problem we have in this nation, and this affects all aspects of the economy and the individual state governments is our income tax system. Early on in the 20th century, (the ratification of the 16th amendment, income tax), we began a system of rewarding economic behavior with tax benefits. In other words, if you do this… you will be relieved of some of your responsibilities for the costs of government and we will pass those costs on to others. In reality that system does produce isolated business activity but rarely is the higher costs to others taken into account. The result is always higher and higher tax rates which affect small businesses greater than larger ones. Lower taxes and consistent tax rates will keep more money in the accounts of business which are the drivers of job creation.
